Chicago Cubs: Comeback bid ends as Luke Hagerty needs elbow surgery
One of the game’s biggest feel-good stories has, at least for now, come to an end with Chicago Cubs left-hander Luke Hagerty needing another elbow surgery.
At age 37, any bid to break a professional baseball club’s roster is a long-shot. But that didn’t stop Chicago Cubs left-hander Luke Hagerty from not only attempting to do so but turning heads on the mound this spring.
Attempting to come back to the game he loves after a decade away, Hagerty’s attempt to reach the big leagues has once again hit a wall in the form of elbow surgery. Per Evan Altman at Cubs Insider, 2002 first round draft pick, Luke Hagerty, will undergo reconstructive elbow surgery in April.
